After a romantic island getaway with her favorite detective, Kansas City elite event planner Gretchen Malloy has fallen in love!
With sand still in her heels, Gretchen is scared. Not only is she unsure if the handsome and younger Daniel Williams and she can make this relationship work, she is worried about a precious elderly friend who is under threat. Mrs. Notte is rich and a pillar of the community. She believes only Gretchen can help her get out of the pickle she's in...someone is trying to kill her.
With Gretchen on the trail, the suspects pile up. Is someone after the old woman's money, jewels, or the house itself? Is there buried treasure or has her family's past crept in to steal Mrs. Notte's joy in her last years? To counter the mayhem, the amateur sleuth turns to her only female friend for reinforcement and the stakeout of their lives. But what will Daniel say?
From the moment they met, and he arrested the fifty-something stiletto diva for murder, Detective Williams realized Gretchen could use those heels for good or evil, always a little of both. It will be a race to save her from danger.
